<p>if i'm thinking about majoring in econ, is it better to take math 16a/b series or math 1a/b series? does econ require advanced math skills?</p>
<p>no 16 series suffices…this has been covered several times before too</p>
<p>If you just want an econ major, then 16a/16b will be fine. If you are thinking about getting a PhD in econ and/or want to take the more advanced theory classes (101A and 101B), then you’ll need to take 1A-1B and then 53. So it’s your call.</p>
